Recent data show that only a third of the businesses in the country have an active online presence. One of the reasons why is that some business owners believe that there is no need for them to establish an online presence. High maintenance costs and lack of social media management skills are also factors to this decision.
The companies that developed their social media profiles do face challenges in terms of social media marketing. Even Australian call girls encounter stumbling blocks when creating their online profile. According to Hootsuite, content creation, content distribution and social media measurement are the biggest hurdles for businesses when marketing their brand. Having said that, there are Australian businesses that are regarded social media industry stars in 2017 for their unique and effective digital campaigns. Here are some of them.
